Yes, I have thought about it. Stuck with Paceway because they are doing it under warranty so "free" but I suspect I have paid about $500 in rego and insurance for a car I can't use for 6 months now. Not even quite sure what the process would be to get it back when they have put in a $4000 charger but still haven't fixed it.

I understand Mike and it's tricky when they're part-way through the job. I believe evShop can do warranty work on production EVs so it may be worth giving them a call if you get to the point of giving up on Paceway.

Mike:
With the spare I-MIEV I have as a test bed, I've even tested that the car can still drive and go to "READY" with the charger not even fitted to the car. You get the coolant error, and Aux battery charging error, but the car still goes to "READY" and can drive. WARNING MCU will fail if this is tied for too long due to no coolant. If paceway is now getting errors that prevent the car from going to "READY", that is a new fault they have introduced besides the original charger fault. Hope they did not do something silly like unplug the High Voltage safety plug while working on the charger, then forget to plug it back in (under the passenger front seat). Or plugged t back in but did not fully engage the leaver when fitting it back. The DTC Error code for this reports a HV Safety Switch not activated. Would really like to know the DTC Error codes they are getting.

Sigh!
Why do businesses think it is such a good ideal to be so secretive? It only makes one think they have something to hide.

IMHO, it's your vehicle so any data generated from it also belongs to you. The most they could do is make you sign a non-disclosure agreement on the grounds of protecting commercially sensitive information.

However,I understand that you don't feel in a position to argue as the vehicle is out of warranty.

We may be nearing a resolution. Paceway say they have narrowed down the issue to a wiring concern. They say they have performed a dummy fix and seems to be all good, but still another few weeks wait for the proper replacement parts.
